Just so happens I'm reading Do Unto Others right now!
Question: What might its application be on a desert island?
:)
Wow - that was quick! Thanks! Catcher in the Rye is a great book, I really enjoyed it.
Welcome back Maayan. You never know when you're going to get off the desert island... Also you can be inspired by what humans do for other humans even while on a desert isle.
Thanks for tagging me Shoshana. There's a part of that book that I once memorized for a class - about a boring room mate of hs who was a great whistler.
So nice to see this. Perhaps some day you'll lend me Catcher In The Rye again. I never did get to read it the first time. My fault, not yours.
I don't understand. I thought Nine Horses _was_ written.
Hmm. I think we're understanding the question in two different ways Uri. You seem to understand it as - describe a book that's never been written that you wish you were the one to have written. I understood it as - name a book that has been written that you wish you were the one to have written, it rather than the actual author.
